Hi Mosè,

looking at the manual of beamer, page 222, there is actually a "slide"
environment:

    \begin{slide}[<options>]{<frame title>}
      <environment contents>
    \end{slide}
    ...
    Example: The following two texts have the same effect:
    \begin{slide}[trans=Glitter,toc=short]{A Title}
      Hi!
    \end{slide}
    and
    \subsection{short} % omitted, if framesassubsections is not specified
    \begin{frame}[fragile=singleslide]
      \transglitter
      \frametitle{A Title}
      Hi!
    \end{frame}

So we should add it instead of removing it :-)  Do you know if Thomas is
still active?  I have never used beamer so I would have to read to
manual first before touching the style.

Best, Arash
